Circuit information  
Before installing the machine, consider the avail-  
ability and proximity of the required power supply  
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the  
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must  
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocu-  
tion, fire, or equipment damage, installation work  
and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified  
electrician in accordance with all applicable codes  
and standards.  
A power supply circuit includes all electrical  
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel  
in the building and the machine. The power sup-  
ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to  
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the  
machine for an extended period of time. (If this  
machine is connected to a circuit protected by  
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)  
For your own safety and protection of  
property, consult a qualified electrician if  
you are unsure about wiring practices or  
electrical codes in your area.  
Electrocution, fire, or  
equipment damage may  
occur if machine is not  
correctly grounded and  
connected to the power  
supply.  
Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man-  
ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one  
machine will be running at a time. If this machine  
will be connected to a shared circuit where mul-  
tiple machines will be running at the same time,  
consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the  
circuit is properly sized for safe operation.  
full-Load Current Rating  
The full-load current rating is the amperage a  
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.  
On machines with multiple motors, this is the  
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all  
motors and electrical devices that might operate  
at one time during normal operations.  
Circuit Requirements for 220v  
This machine is prewired to operate on a 220V  
power supply circuit that has a verified ground and  
meets the following requirements:  
full-Load Current Rating at 220v ....... 7 amps  
full-Load Current Rating at 110v...... 14 amps  
nominal voltage .............................. 220v/240v  
Cycle..........................................................60 hz  
phase........................................... single-phase  
power supply Circuit ......................... 15 amps  
plug/Receptacle ............................. nEMa 6-15  
The full-load current is not the maximum amount  
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine  
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond  
the full-load rating.  
Circuit Requirements for 110v  
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length  
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—  
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.  
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over-  
loading the machine during operation and make  
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that  
meets the requirements in the following section.  
This machine can be converted to operate on a  
110V power supply (refer to Voltage Conversion  
instructions) that has a verified ground and meets  
the following requirements:  
nominal voltage ...............................110v/120v  
Cycle..........................................................60 hz  
phase........................................... single-phase  
power supply Circuit ......................... 20 amps  
plug/Receptacle ............................. nEMa 5-20

Grounding Requirements  
GROUNDED  
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event  
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding  
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a  
path of least resistance for electric current.  
5-20 RECEPTACLE  
Hot  
Neutral  
5-20 PLUG  
For 220V operation: This machine is equipped  
with a power cord that has an equipment-ground-  
ing wire and a grounding plug (see following fig-  
ure). The plug must only be inserted into a match-  
ing receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed  
and grounded in accordance with all local codes  
and ordinances.  
Grounding Prong  
figure 5. typical 5-20 plug and receptacle.  
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding  
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The  
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow  
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair  
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-  
essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding  
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.  
GROUNDED  
6-15 RECEPTACLE  
Current Carrying Prongs  
6-15 PLUG  
Check with a qualified electrician or service per-  
sonnel if you do not understand these grounding  
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether  
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice  
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-  
nect it from power, and immediately replace it with  
a new one.  
Grounding Prong  
figure 4. typical 6-15 plug and receptacle.  
Extension Cords  
We do not recommend using an extension cord  
with this machine. If you must use an extension  
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only  
on a temporary basis.  
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may  
damage electrical components and shorten motor  
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord  
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller  
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).  
No adapter should be used with the  
provided plug. If the plug does not fit the  
available receptacle, or the machine must  
be reconnected for use on a different type  
of circuit, the reconnection must be made  
by a qualified electrician and comply with all  
local codes and ordinances.  
Any extension cord used with this machine must  
contain a ground wire, match the required plug  
and receptacle, and meet the following require-  
ments:  
For 110V operation: The plug specified under

Cleanup  
Gasoline or products  
with low flash points can  
explode or cause fire if  
used to clean machin-  
ery. Avoid cleaning with  
these products.  
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are  
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that  
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.  
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it  
will take a little time to clean.  
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your  
machine. The time you spend doing this now will  
give you a better appreciation for the proper care  
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.  
Many cleaning solvents  
are toxic if concentrat-  
ed amounts are inhaled.  
Only work in a well-venti-  
lated area.  
There are many ways to remove this rust preven-  
tative, but the following steps work well in a wide  
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-  
turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you  
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated  
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.  
NOTICE  
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as  
acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may  
damage painted surfaces. Test all cleaners  
in an inconspicuous area before using to  
make sure they will not damage paint.  
Before cleaning, gather the following:  
Disposable Rags  
Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)  
Safety glasses & disposable gloves  
Plastic paint scraper (optional)  
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:  
1. Put on safety glasses.  
2. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal  
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak  
for 5–10 minutes.  
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-  
er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe  
off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,  
scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe  
off the rest with the rag.  
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,  
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality  
metal protectant to prevent rust.

site Considerations  
Weight Load  
Physical Environment  
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight  
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon  
which the machine is placed will bear the weight  
of the machine, additional equipment that may be  
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work-  
piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the  
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading  
that may occur when operating the machine.  
The physical environment where your machine  
is operated is important for safe operation and  
the longevity of its components. For best results,  
operate this machine in a dry environment that is  
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi-  
cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.  
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are  
generally those where the ambient temperature  
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity  
range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the  
environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or  
bumps.  
Space Allocation  
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will  
be processed through this machine and provide  
enough space around the machine for adequate  
operator material handling or the installation of  
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,  
leave enough space around the machine to open  
or remove doors/covers as required by the main-  
tenance and service described in this manual.  
See below for required space allocation.  
Electrical Installation  
Place this machine near an existing power source.  
Make sure all power cords are protected from  
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,  
or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to  
a means of disconnecting the power source or  
engaging a lockout/tagout device.  
Lighting  
Children or untrained people  
may be seriously injured by  
this machine. Only install in an  
access restricted location.  
Lighting around the machine must be adequate  
enough that operations can be performed safely.  
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract  
or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Lifting & placing  
anchor studs  
the Model G0717 is a  
heavy machine. serious  
personal injury may occur  
if safe moving methods  
are not used. to be safe,  
get assistance and use  
power equipment to move  
the shipping crate and  
remove the machine from  
the crate.  
lag shield anchor  
and lag screw  
figure 8. typical fasteners for mounting to  
concrete floors.  
use a forklift rated for the machine weight to lift  
the machine off the pallet and onto a suitable  
location.  
NOTICE  
anchor studs are stronger and more per-  
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;  
however, they will stick out of the floor,  
which may cause a tripping hazard if you  
decide to move your machine.  
Mounting  
although not required, we recommend that you  
mount your new machine to the floor. Because  
this is an optional step and floor materials may  
vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.  
generally, you can either bolt your machine to  
the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Both  
options are described below. Whichever option  
you choose, we recommend leveling your machine  
with a precision level.  
using Machine Mounts  
using machine mounts, shown in figure 9, gives  
the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduc-  
tion. the large size of the foot pads distributes  
the weight of the machine to reduce strain on the  
floor.  
Bolting to Concrete floors  
lag shield anchors with lag screw (figure 8) and  
anchor studs (figure 8) are two popular meth-  
ods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor.  
We suggest you research the many options and  
methods for mounting your machine and choose  
the best that fits your specific application.  
figure 9. Machine mount example.  
NOTICE  
we strongly recommend securing your  
machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the  
power source. Consult with your electrician  
to ensure compliance with local codes.

sECtiOn 4: OpERatiOns  
to complete a typical cutting operation, the  
operator does the following:  
Operation Overview  
1. examines the workpiece to make sure it is  
suitable for cutting.  
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-  
ice machine operator with a basic understanding  
of how the machine is used during operation, so  
the machine controls/components discussed later  
in this manual are easier to understand.  
2. raises the headstock, then closes the  
downfeed valve.  
3. adjusts the headstock angle for the type of  
cut, then securely clamps the workpiece in  
the vise.  
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is  
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn  
more about specific operations, read this entire  
manual and seek additional training from expe-  
rienced machine operators, and do additional  
research outside of this manual by reading "how-  
to" books, trade magazines, or websites.  
4. adjusts the guides as close as possible to the  
workpiece without contacting it, and verifies  
that the blade is properly tensioned.  
5. adjusts the downfeed rate adjust knob for the  
correct feed rate.  
to reduce the risk of  
serious injury when using  
this machine, read and  
understand this entire  
manual before operating.  
6. Makes sure the workpiece and bandsaw are  
stable and that there are no obstructions in  
the way of the cut.  
7. puts on safety glasses.  
8. starts the bandsaw and waits for the blade to  
reach full speed.  
Damage to your eyes and lungs could result  
from using this machine without proper pro-  
tective gear. always wear safety glasses and  
a respirator when operating this machine.  
9. opens the downfeed valve to lower the head  
and blade into the workpiece, then allows the  
bandsaw to complete the cut.  
10. once the bandsaw has stopped, raises the  
head, and removes the workpieces.

note: It is sometimes possible to flip the  
blade inside out, in which case the blade will  
be installed in the wrong direction. Check to  
make sure the blade teeth are facing toward  
the workpiece, as shown in Figure 28, after  
mounting on the bandsaw. Some blades will  
have a directional arrow as a guide.  
Blade tension  
proper tension is essential to avoid blade vibra-  
tion, twist, or`slippage on the wheels. a correctly  
tensioned blade provides long life, straight cuts,  
and efficient cutting times.  
the three major signs of incorrect blade tension  
are: 1) the blade stalls in the cut and slips on the  
wheels, 2) the blade frequently breaks, and 3) the  
bandsaw does not make straight cuts.

Blade tracking  
Blade Breakage  
The blade tracking has been properly set at  
the factory. The tracking will rarely need to be  
adjusted if the bandsaw is used properly.  
Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to  
break. some of these conditions are unavoidable  
and are the natural result of the stresses placed  
on the bandsaw; other causes of blade breakage  
are avoidable.  
to adjust the blade tracking on the bandsaw,  
loosen or tighten the tracking adjustment bolt and  
lock nut in figure 30 until the blade is tracking  
properly. the blade is tracking properly when the  
back of the blade is approximately 116" away from  
the flange of both wheels.  
the most common causes of avoidable blade  
breakage are:  
Faulty alignment or adjustment of the blade  
guides.  
tracking  
adjustment Bolt  
& lock nut  
Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a  
tight radius.  
Feeding the workpiece too fast.  
dull or damaged teeth.  
over-tensioned blade.  
top blade guide assembly set too high above  
the workpiece. adjust the top blade guide  
assembly so that there is approximately  
1
8"–14" between the bottom of the assembly  
and the workpiece. understand that with  
smaller workpieces, this may not be possible.  
in these cases, simply adjust the blade guide  
as far down as possible.

using a blade with a lumpy or improperly fin-  
ished braze or weld.  
Continuously running the bandsaw when not  
in use.  
leaving the blade tensioned when not in  
use.  
using the wrong blade pitch (tpi) for the  
workpiece thickness. the general rule of  
thumb is to have no fewer than three teeth  
in contact with the workpiece when starting a  
cut and at all times during cutting.

Blade Care &  
Break-in  
Downfeed  
downfeed is controlled by two knobs on the con-  
trol panel.  
Blade Care  
to set the feed rate:  
to prolong blade life, always use a blade with the  
proper width, set, type, and pitch for each applica-  
tion. Maintain the appropriate feed rate, feed pres-  
sure, and blade speed and pay attention to the  
chip characteristics (refer to the Chip inspection  
Chart on page 31). Keep your blades clean, since  
dirty or gummed up blades pass through the  
cutting material with much more resistance than  
clean blades, causing unnecessary heat.  
1. raise the bow to the highest position.  
2. set the downfeed rate Knob in figure 31 to  
the desired feed rate.  
downfeed rate  
Knob  
downfeed start/  
stop Knob  
Blade Break-in  
the tips and edges of a new blade are extremely  
sharp. Cutting at too fast of a feed rate or too  
slow of a blade speed can fracture these tips and  
edges, quickly dulling the blade. properly break-  
ing-in a blade allows these sharp edges to wear  
without fracturing, thus keeping the blade sharp  
longer. Below is a typical break-in procedure. For  
aftermarket blades, refer to the manufacturer's  
break-in procedure to keep from voiding the war-  
ranty.  
figure 31. Feed rate controls.  
use the Chip inspection Chart on page 31 as  
a guide to evaluate the chips and ensure that  
the optimal blade speed and feed rate are being  
used.  
3. turn the downfeed start/stop knob to the left  
to lower the bow at the feed rate you have  
set. turning the knob to the right locks the  
bow in position.  
to properly break-in a new blade:  
1. Choose the correct speed for the blade and  
material of the operation.  
2. reduce the feed pressure by half for the first  
50–100 square inches of material cut.  
3. to avoid twisting the blade when cutting,  
adjust the feed pressure when the total width  
of the blade is in the cut.

Downfeed pressure  
Blade speed  
the downfeed pressure is controlled by the spring  
shown in figure 32.  
the Model g0717 has four speed settings—83,  
132, 170, and 235 feet per minute (FpM). refer  
to the chart on page 25 for cutting speed recom-  
mendations by material type.  
to decrease downfeed pressure, turn the hex nut  
clockwise to increase spring tension. to increase  
downfeed pressure, turn the hex counterclock-  
wise to release spring tension. after adjustments,  
tighten the lock nut against the bracket to secure  
the spring setting.

Chip inspection Chart  
the best method for choosing the cutting speed and feed rate for a cutting operation is to inspect the chips  
created by the cut. these chips are indicators of what is commonly referred to as the "chip load." refer to  
the chip inspection chart below to evaluate chip characteristics and determine whether to adjust feed rate/  
pressure, blade speed, or both.

vise  
Blade Guide arms  
the blade guide bearings are mounted on the  
front and rear arms. the upper arm is adjustable  
and should be set as close to the workpiece as  
possible. this will help ensure straight cuts by  
keeping the blade from twisting and drifting off of  
the cut line. it also maximizes safety by exposing  
only enough blade to make the cut.  
always turn the saw OFF and allow the blade  
to come to a complete stop before using the  
vise! failure to follow this caution may lead  
to injury.  
the vise has a quick release feature that allows  
jaw width to be quickly adjusted when changing  
from one sized material to another.  
to adjust the rear blade guide arm:  
loosen the knob shown in figure 38 and slide  
the rear blade guide as close to the workpiece as  
possible, then tighten the knob.  
to rapidly change the vise jaw gap:  
1. turn the handwheel counterclockwise to  
relieve any pressure on the vise jaw.

Cutting fluid  
BiOLOGiCaL and pOisOn  
hazaRD!  
While simple in concept and function, many  
issues must be taken into account to find and use  
the correct cutting fluid. always follow all product  
warnings and contact the fluid manufacturer for  
unanswered questions.  
use the information below as a guideline to  
choose the appropriate cutting fluid. always refer  
to the cutting fluid manufacturer for specific appli-  
cation and safety information:  
the reservoir on this machine is designed  
to store cutting fluid. During storage, some  
fluids grow dangerous microbes, or due to  
the collection of toxic metal chips in the  
fluid, the fluid can become a potent and  
extremely poisonous solution to humans  
and animals.  
For cutting low alloy, low carbon, and gen-  
eral-purpose category metals with a bi-metal  
bladeuse a water soluble cutting fluid.  
For cutting stainless steels, high carbon, and  
high alloy metals, brass, copper and mild  
steelsuse "neat Cutting oil" (commonly  
undiluted mineral oils) that have extreme  
pressure additives (ep additives).  
usE the correct personal protection  
equipment when handling cutting fluids to  
prevent infections and poisoning.  
For cutting cast iron, cutting fluid is not rec-  
ommended.  
usE a good bactericide and fungicide for  
additional protection.  
Remember: Too much flow at the cutting fluid  
nozzles will make a mess and can make the work  
area unsafe; and not enough fluid at the cut will  
heat the blade, causing the blade teeth to load up  
and break.  
fOLLOw federal, state, and the fluid  
manufacturer requirements to properly  
dispose of cutting fluid when it becomes  
unsafe.  
tip: Using a refractometer or hydrometer to  
replenish water in water-based coolant can extend  
the life of blades and coolant, and ensure consis-  
tent cutting results.

Operation tips  
the following tips will help you safely and effec-  
tively operate your bandsaw, and help you get the  
maximum life out of your saw blades.  
support long pieces so they won't fall when  
cut, and flag the ends to alert passers-by of  
potential danger.  
use the work stop to quickly and accurately  
cut multiple pieces of stock to the same  
length.  
adjust the blade guides as close as possible  
to the workpiece to minimize side-to-side  
blade movement.  
Clamp the material firmly in the vise jaws to  
ensure a straight cut through the material,  
and use the positive lock to speed produc-  
tion.  
use coolant when possible to increase blade  
life.  
NOTICE  
Loosen blade tension at the end of each day  
to prolong blade life.  
let the blade reach full speed before engag-  
ing the workpiece.  
never start a cut with the blade in contact  
with the workpiece, and do not start a cut on  
a sharp edge.  
pay attention to the chips produced by the  
cutting operation and use their appearance  
to fine-tune the blade speed, feed speed, and  
pressure (refer to the Chip inspection Chart  
on page 31).
